I'm sure the Geforce 5 will be well out of my price range until the GeForce 7 comes out. I'm on a GeForce 2 GTS right now that I got an awesome deal for when I bought it, and I just ordered a Radeon 8500 LE for $125. Under $150 is my sweet spot. :)

I bought a GeForce2 Ti when my GeForce 256 died on me over Christmas Break. It's amazing how fast nVidia pumps out these new cards.

I wonder how high they will number them until they decide to start a new naming line?

<< I'll believe it when I see it. It's still vaporware...like the Matrox "G1000." >>



nvidia has a schedule of 6 month release cycles.

That's when Direct X 9.x is going to be released? Does Microsoft control the advancement of videocard technologies?
I don't think is vaporware or rumor, since the CEO announced it, not some rumor spread by you or me. I think Anand may already has a version of it in his lab. I remember that Anand had the GF4 as early as Fall of 2000, when the GF3 Ti500 was announced.

Hey if there are suckers willing to pay for their overpriced Video Cards to play kiddie Games they'll be more than happy to take their money

i think over $100 for a video card is a waste of money. price will drop so quickly that you won't even have time to resell at your purchased price ;)

Well...My Geforce 2 Mx will hold me off, it still seems like a huge improvement over my Matrox Mystique, wich i had been using until last month. God, that card was slow. No "multi-texturing capablilites" and it only had 2 mb ram. Geez, i'm glad thats over with.

I've got to agree. By the time any software comes around that actually supports all the great features of a card it's a dinosaur that's 2 generations old. Hell, we're well into the GF4 era with GF5 well on the way, but there's nothing that actually requires even a GF3 to run smoothly on most machines at common resolutions. So what if you only get 150fps on quake instead of 230? My $50 GTS-V is more than enough for almost anything for the near future, so I'll pick up a GF4 for $50 8 months from now from some clown that paid $400 for it :p
